Joe Gough of Ireland finishes 2nd in dramatic finish in Masters race at World Championships in Oregon

At the IAAF World Indoor Championships in Portland, Oregon on Saturday, one of the morning events was the Masters men's over-60 800 metre race. In a dramatic final lap, Joe Gough from West Waterford AC kept the lead until the last few metres when his legs gave out.

In the end, Joe finished in a very credible second place against some of the best masters athletes in the world.
